[QUOTE]Originally posted by karinfarid: [QB] hello vito, I'm sorry I did not catch up with the thread the last few days, but I see the girls (Katrina, Kay, Monica, Tigerlily..) gave you all their support and encouragement you'll need inshaAllah. I've been living in Cairo for 9 years and I have never regretted leaving Austria for my husband and Islam. The biggest problem I had in the beginning was the language.. it is so frustrating if you don't understand anything being said around you, would have made me feel lonely, if my husband was not there always by my side translating and explaining. What I did appriciate and still do above all, that there are no secrets between us. It is common in Egypt that spouses don't tell their partner a little secret concerning their family, so a few years down the line they won't hear from their partner, that 'you are just like your mother, uncle, brother...'. My husband told me a very well hidden secret about his father, for this he earned a lesson from his uncle - how could he tell me something like this? Even my mom-in-law had to gasp when she knew that I knew (they've been divorced anyway for many years). Something funny, when we decided to get married, my husband's uncle run an investigation on me.. his position allowed him to, to see if I was not a Jewish spy after all. My mil took it easy, she said it would show over the time, if I want to stay only for the good weather or if I'm really in love with him... <IMG SRC="http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/smile.gif"> I managed to learn Arabic over the time and Allah opened my heart towards Islam, so 1 1/2 years after my marriage I converted to Islam, and shortly after I dediced to wear the hajab alhamdulillah. I think your fiancee is scared a little from all the stares and looks, that is something one has to get used to. Make sure with her, that if anybody says anything to her that causes a confusion or doubt about that person, to tell you, so you could clarify immediately. Be sure about your friends and their intentions. What I had to learn is how to keep the distance to people I did not know that well, without being impolite, or what I thought was impolite. I found out the best way to answer many question you don't want to spend ages to answer, or that is simply not this persons' business, is with: alhamdulillah (thanks to Allah), and inshaAllah (if Allah wills). Keep us updated and let us know any news from you inshaAllah, salam, Karin [/QB][/QUOTE]
